The Monroe Doctrine.


The Monroe Doctrine.
KEY WEST (Fla), April 18th. = The
United States steamer Yantic has arrived
here from Port-au-Prince, Hayti. 1t is re-
ported on good authority that while at
Port au- Prince Commander Green posi-
lively and officially forbade the English
men-of-war in that harbor to execute the
threat of seizing the Tortugas Islands.
The report has created considerable excite
ment here among the American and Span
ish population. The American Consul at
Hayti has kept the State Department at
Washington fully informed as to what was
going on about him. 1t is understood the
Government will undertake to enforce the
Monroe doctrine should any of the Eu-
ropean powers undertake to disrupt any of
the neighboring republics.
THE REPORT DENIED.
WASHINGTON, April 15th-It is stated
at both the State and Navy Departments
that there is no truth in the dispatch that
Commodore Green had forbade the Eng
lsh men-o -ofwar at Port-auPrince to carry
out the threat of seizing Tortugas Island.
Baldwin and His Challenge.
New YORK, April 15th.-The Turf, Field
and Farm says: In answer to the PROPOSE
ton of Cassatt to run The Bard against
Oldllte SlUOVU u Slut at ouSeDSnedu
Bay or Monmouth PARK IN the fore part of
July. E. J. Baldwin telegraphs to the Tart,
Field and Farm as follows g will make
no match race until after the Chicago races
If Volante is all right will then match
him against The Bard or any other horse'
The meeting at Washington Park, Chicago,
does not end until July 10th, and if Bald
win adheres to his resolution to do nothing
| in the way of matchmaking until then,
we fear The Bard will have to be counted
out, as his owner has made arrangements
| to go to Europe in the latter part of June
| Baldwin has not lived up to the challenge
| which he issued on March 9th.

! liza. In the meantime let them get their
best men together, single out any one they
think can whip me. and they will find
John l.. ready 10 meet him. The day of
| fighting with bare knuckles is past in the
States and Territories, and we would have
to go to Mexico, which Lam ready to do
! after the fight with Cardiff. | am tired of
fighting in the ring, and will be glad when
l can get out of it in an honorable way"
Mrs. Haggin's Literary Taste.
New YORK, April 15th-The Tribune
this morning says of lie Liore Amour"
privately printed by Mrs. Louis Haggin, of
San Francisco: She has arranged in this
volume some of the most exquisite poet
ical selections of the century. She has
gathered herein the most perfect love songs
of France-little lyrics, all grace, fragrance
and music. Unerring taste has guided her
| in these selections. There Is no bit of
verse here that is not a gem of its kind.
These beautiful trifes Mrs Haggin has
dressed so dainty that the mere hand
ling of the book is a delight. From the
illuminated title to the white cover with
its gold fieur-de-lis, it is triumph of the
bookmaker's art. There are only few of
these little volumes in existence.
